💥 THE DISRUPTION
Forget the pastel “self-care” nonsense. This episode gets raw about perimenopause, womb work, and what it actually means to reclaim your creative power from the inside out.
Sally sits down with Melanie Swan, a true rebel priestess of womb wisdom, healer, author, and embodiment guide, currently thriving (and sweating) her way through perimenopause in Northern Thailand.
They dive deep into the real feminine: the kind that doesn’t float in flower crowns but breathes fire, bleeds with purpose, and knows when to pull the curtains, strip off the bra, and waft.
⚡️ WHAT WE EXPLORE:
- Why Melanie left the chaos behind to do “absolutely nothing” and how that saved her sanity
- The radical beauty of perimenopause as a pause from men, noise, and overdoing
- The misunderstood magic of womb work and why it’s not just woo-woo poetry
- What the womb actually represents (spoiler: it’s way more than baby-making)
- How our cycles are ancient maps for creation, rest, and power if we’d only listen
- Why “the feminine” isn’t all softness and how divine masculine energy lives inside us too
- Melanie’s unfiltered take on Instagram spirituality and “the feminine is flowy” clichés
If you’ve ever felt the urge to burn everything down just to breathe, this conversation is your permission slip.
It’s not about hormones or hot flashes; it’s about coming home to your body’s wisdom and reclaiming your sovereignty as a creator.
